This section outlines key system and host environment configuration elements needed to build the reference operating system.

The following configuration and Yocto workflow is based on a workstation running Linux*. Examples provided have been tested with Ubuntu* 16.04 and should work on most modern distributions if adapted by a knowledgeable developer.

It is recommended to set locale to common as there can be some sync issues with locale on compilation if time stamps are off:

user@linuxbox:~$ sudo locale-gen "en_US.UTF-8" user@linuxbox:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install socat subversion diffstat makeinfo chrpath texinfo get gawk xsltproc

After installing dependencies, the subversion needs be ran once for the settings part to have the basis to edit the ~/.subversion/.. files

This can be done by running subversion once to create the configurations to edit (below):

user@linuxbox:~$ mkdir /home/<user>/svn user@linuxbox:~$ svnadmin create /home/<user>/svn Subversion proxy is set in ~/.subversion/servers

Review the Yotco wikipage about working behind a corporate firewall or personal proxy server and adapt as needed for your situation.

If you don't have the SSH keys, please follow these instructions.

Note:

+ssh-dss needs to be added for SSH to use Gerrit (replace<your git server> and <username> below).

.ssh/config Host git-*.<your git server>.com User <username> HostkeyAlgorithms +ssh-dss

 

The development workstation is now configured to fetch required libraries and build the reference operating system.
